-r recurse isn't working and a few requests/questions
Posted: 17 Jan 2018, 05:40
I recently updated to Windows 10 and bought filebot from the windows store because it is fantastic and well worth $20. But one thing that was working under windows 7 using an old filebot version (sorry I'm not sure which version, probably the last free one) that no longer works for me is argument "-r" to recurse directories. Here's my command line, the same as I was using successfully before:
Does the "-r" have to be in a certain place in the command? There are no errors or warnings in any log that indicates why filebot might be skipping over directories. All files and folders are read/write by anyone, and I've tried running filebot as administrator. Thanks in advance for any hints as to what I'm doing wrong.
My requests (these may exist already but I can't find out how to do them):
1. For "--conflict" it would be nice to have an option to ignore extensions and save the highest resolution file instead of the largest. i.e. foo.avi is 320x200 / 500MB and foo.mkv is 200MB and 1920x720. Currently filebot keeps both when I use "-conflict auto". Of course I'd like to keep foo.mkv and skip/delete foo.avi.
2. I was in the hospital for a few weeks and came back to quite a mess of files to sort out and lost my amc.txt file. I had a few dozen of these, as expected:
I understand that is in place to reduce the load on TVDB, but if there were a way to skip these and proceed (which sometimes filebot seems to do) as long as an excludefile is specified that would be a handy feature.
Thank for the great tool!
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc --action move --conflict auto -non-strict -r --output \\fatty\video --log-file \\fatty\video\logs\log.txt --def excludelist=\\fatty\video\logs\amc.txt --def minFileSize=0 --def minLengthMS=0
